Oh, wow! Considering that the most uncomfortably cold place I've lived (and I grew up in MN, with a mother who keeps the thermostat set at around 60 degrees all winter) was a basement apartment — until a dehumidifier was purchased — I have a really hard time believing that humid air feels warmer!

I'm in love with that blue, as well.

Speaking of bathrooms with shocking color schemes, my previous apartment was painted when I was first shown it. The main living areas were tasteful color combos that I was totally down with, and I insisted they be kept. The bathroom, on the other hand, was painted with big vertical stripes of red and an orangish yellow. If ever a bathroom looked like it was designed with McDonald's in mind, this was it! I had the maintenance crew prime over it before I moved in, and then proceeded to paint it a magenta/fuschia shade that I affectionately referred to as "harem pink", which I'm sure was an issue for the next tenant, but that's another story altogether. ;)

FYI, in the US, you can buy a few of the mugs individually through the MoMA store. They appear to be from last year's collection, but if you're not that picky, no problem!

That "without flame retardants" bit appears to be an error...it should be "without toxic/chemical flame retardants" or something like that. Per the website linked, "Furniture follows California Code 133 requirements without using toxic chemical flame retardants. Aside from the furniture's passing Cal TB133, we should also state that it passes Cal TB 116 for residential use, that all of the fabrics pass Cal TB117 and that all of the wools actually pass NFPA701 for hospitality use."
